Definitions
- the present claimed invention relates to the field of communications.
- the present claimed invention relate to apparatus and methods for space-time processing and interference suppression techniques that will lead to an increased data rate and or capacity in CDMA based wireless communication systems.
- One method of accommodating higher data rates is to use wideband transmissions, e.g., three data streams, that are combined at the receiver to produce the resultant signal.
- wideband transmissions e.g., three data streams
- a wideband system will simply consume the limited number of code resources faster.
- a DSSS communication system multiple signals with different encoding sequences are transmitted simultaneously.
- the specific code sequence used to encode the desired signal is reproduced at a receiver, and via the autocorrelation properties, used to detect the original data stream from the noise of and interference in the overall signal.
- the multiple signals must be sufficiently weak to appear as noise when compared to the signal detected after correlating with the specific code sequence.
- One method used to overcome this limitation is to use multiple antennas on a transmitter alone or to use multiple antennas on a transmitter and receiver. This provides additional multipaths for the signal that might overcome some of the geographical barriers as well as some interference suppression capability to the receiver. However, if different signals transmitted on the different antennas use different codes, then the code resource is used up quickly. Consequently, this model accomplishes little gain in the data rate.
- Capacity is limited by the number of available codes.
- orthogonal or at least quasi-orthogonal code sequences must be used for each unique data stream being communicated.
- the number of orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal code sequences is limited for a given code sequence length.
- information symbols are transmitted simultaneously on independent streams using the same spreading code but from different transmit antennas at the transmitter.
- These simultaneous data stream could be intended for the same user (and thereby the data rate for any particular user can be increased) or for different users (thereby increasing the system capacity).
- Each stream of data can belong to a different signal constellation and use a different channel code.
- a number of receive antennas equal to at least the number of multiple data streams is used to separate the different data streams.

- d l arg ⁇ ⁇ min s c ⁇ S c ⁇ ⁇ x - g ⁇ ⁇ s c ⁇ 2 [ 16 ]
- the overall reliability d l for the new estimate of s and the received estimate of c is determined by calculating the reliability for the new estimate of s and summing it at adder 614 a with d c . This is represented by d 1 d c + ⁇ x ⁇ tilde over (g) ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 [17]
- c ⁇ 1 arg ⁇ ⁇ min c c ⁇ C c ⁇ ⁇ y - h ⁇ ⁇ c c ⁇ 2 [ 19 ] d 2 d s + ⁇ y ⁇ tilde over (h) ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 [20]
- d 1 and d 2 are compared by reliability decision block 620 . If d 1 ⁇ d 2 , then the new estimate of s and the original estimate of c are accepted and supplied as the outputs of the receiver.

Abstract
Description
for the kth symbol and the ith finger. This can be rewritten as:
r i(k,l)={tilde over (h)} i(l)·c(k)+{tilde over (g)} i(l)·s(k)+n i(k,l)i=1,2 [2]
where {tilde over (h)} and {tilde over (g)} are the channel gains for the channel from the first transmitter to the receiver and the channel from the second transmitter to the receiver.
{tilde over (h)} i(l)=w 11 ·h i1(l)+w 12 ·h i2(l), where ∥w 11∥2 +∥w 12∥2=1 [3]
{tilde over (g)} i(l)=w 21 ·g i1(l)+w 22 ·g i2(l), where ∥w 21∥2 +∥w 22∥2=1 [4]
where w11, w12 are the weights applied to the signals from
H* is the conjugate transpose of H, I is the identity matrix, and Γ1 is the signal to noise ratio in finger l. Further, we define
{tilde over (h)} l ={tilde over (h)}(l)=[{tilde over (h)} 1(l){tilde over (h)} 2(l)]T and {tilde over (g)} l ={tilde over (g)}(l)=[{tilde over (g)} 1(l){tilde over (g)} 2(l)]T [10]
w c,l =R l −1 ·{tilde over (h)} l w s,l =R l −1 ·{tilde over (g)} l [11]
such that
c 1 =w c,l *·r 1 =c+η c,l s 1 =w s,l *·r 1 =s+η s,l [12]
where rl is the received signal as specified by equation [2] and η is the effective noise. As indicated, these weights are obtained by determining the correlation matrix R, inverting the correlation matrix and multiplying it by {tilde over (h)}(l) or {tilde over (g)}(l).
The lower the value of dc or ds, the more reliable is the estimate.
x 2Lx1 =r−{tilde over (h)}·ĉ [15]
Next, the overall reliability dl for the new estimate of s and the received estimate of c is determined by calculating the reliability for the new estimate of s and summing it at
d 1 d c +∥x−{tilde over (g)}·ŝ 1∥2 [17]
y 2Lx1 =r−{tilde over (g)}·ŝ [18]
d 2 d s +∥y−{tilde over (h)}·ĉ 1∥2 [20]
Further, we define
w c =R −1 ·{tilde over (h)}w s =R −1 ·{tilde over (g)} [24]
such that
c=w c *·r=c+η c s=w s *·r=s+η s [25]
Where i is the antenna number, k is time and 1 is the finger number and
which may be rewritten as
In addition,
H il *·H il=δ h,il ·I, where δh,il =|h i1(l)|2 +|h i2(l)|2 [34]
G il *·G il=δg,il ·I, where δg,il =|g i1(l)|2 +|g i2(l)|2 [35]
It will be recognized that Bil, is also orthogonal.
where
B l *B l=(|b 1l|2 +|b 2l|2)·I=δ b,l ·I [38]
W c,l *·{tilde over (r)} l =r c,l={tilde over (δ)}h,l ·c+ñ c,l [41]
W s,l *·{tilde over (r)} l =r s,l={tilde over (δ)}g,l ·s+ñ s,l [42]
Since ñc,l and ñs,l are uncorrelated, white noise, the estimates of c and s are good soft decisions. These estimates are supplied by each finger to combiner 948 a and 948 b where the estimates are combined and supplied to first and second tentative decision blocks 952 a and 952 b.
or more simply
where
[H′G′]≡A′ [47]
B l *B l=(|b 1|2 +|b 2|2)·I=δb ·I [54]
W c =[I−δ g −1 ·B] 2×4 [55]
W s =[I−δ h −1 ·B] 2×4 [56]
r c,l =W c *·{tilde over (r)} [57]
and the weight Ws* is supplied to
r s =W s *·{tilde over (r)} [58]
The output of
r c ={tilde over (δ)} h ·c+ñ c [59]
and the output of
r s={tilde over (δ)} h ·c+ñ c [59]
where
To obtain estimates of the signal pairs c=c1, c2 and s=s1, s2 for each finger, we need to find a set of weights
W c,l4×2 =R l −1 .H l [64 ]
W s,l4×2 =R l −1 .G l
such that
W* c,l .r l =c+ñ c,l [65]
W* c,l .r l =c+ñ c,l [65]
